Solutions:

- 71 + 78 + 80 + 80 + 82 + 91 + 107 + 121 + 125 + 131 + 142 = 1108

- 1108 x 1108 = 1227664

- 1227664 / 11 = 111605.81818181818

- (71 x 71) + (78 x 78) + (80 x 80) + (80 x 80) + (82 x 82) + (91 x 91) + (107 x 107) + (121 x 121) + (125 x 125) + (131 x 131) + (142 x 142) = 117970

- 117970 - 111605.81818181818 = 6364.1818181818235

- 11 - 1 = 10

- 6364.1818181818235 / 10 = 636.4181818181823 (Variance)

- √ (636.4181818181823) = 25.227330057264926 (Standard Deviation)
